Close - paralleling resistors lowers the total resistance.
Rnew= 1/(R1 + R2 + R3...)
However, the circuit you're looking at would require .8333 ohms; .82 ought to be a common value, so a single resistor would suffice.
Thing is, you're looking at 1.875 watts through the resistor, so a big power resistor will be required, and you'll definitely want to heatsink the regulator, and probably the resistor.
The Luxeons (in series, BTW), will also be pushing a lot of heat at that level, which seems like a lot for a dome light for practical use. The overall efficiency will be pretty low, too, not that it matters so much in a vehicle.
Best,
